Aldi Dolce Gusto compatible pods anywhere?

I have a dulce gusto, I didn’t think/know anyone did compatible pods.

There's a company called Cafepod that have fairly recently launched a small range of compatible pods, my relative loves them but I'm not so keen as they're really strong. I've seen those in Asda and latterly Waitrose, although it looks like Waitrose have stopped stocking the Dolce Gusto ones. It also looks like a deal has been struck with Mars(?) as you can now get a range of different confectionery-flavoured hot chocolate pods (Galaxy, Galaxy White, Milky Way, Maltesers) that work in the machine. B&M seem to have those on offer fairly regularly.

I got the Maltesers pods thinking it would be a nice treat for the kids but they were only drinkable if you put about 150mls into the cup. Otherwise they were like water. At £4 a box I definitely won't be wasting my money on those again.

Just got some Italian pods in B&M reduced to £1 for a pack of 10. Hopefully the will be nicer. Don't mind trying them for that price.

They are Caffè Bertoni and are by far the nicest I've tried so far.

Lidl do Dolce Gusto compatible pods and they are the best value ones I have found. I think they are just available in Americano, Cappucino and Latte though.

Maybe it's just me, but why buy a coffee machine that takes a certain thing. Then scream and bawl for fake ones. HELLO?

Have a Nespresso machine and I find it a bit of a hassle getting the real pods more than anything, so we do buy the fake ones, though only 2 types actually work with it properly and I don’t actually rate the Aldi ones, so that leaves me with the L’or ones which I can only seem to get at Asdar. ( they are super btw).

Sorry that’s no help regarding Dolce Gusto.

Thank you Rosie....was thinking of buying the coffee machine that is on offer at Lidl this weekend. £50 and pods 10 for £2.69. Nespresso compatible.
It seems that I have to taste the coffee first and then find a machine that will take all pods.

Good grief I binned my nespresso machine about 4 months ago because it was leaking at that time the Lidl pods were £1:79 for 10.

Lidl have the Bellarom capsule coffee machine on offer tomorrow for £29.99 and I'm very tempted.
Our Aldi had the dolce gusto pods this week for the first time. Really fallen out of love with them as the pods are a pain to store as they won't stack and take up a fair bit of space. Really want the one with the wee capsules.
